Abstract:
... Predation on early life stages of Atlantic Sturgeon Acipenser oxyrinchus oxyrinchus (ATS) may be a constraint to species recovery. Due to the difficulty in assessing consumption of early life stages with traditional diet analysis methods, we pursued an alternative DNA‐based approach. We extracted total gut content from gastrointestinal tracts of 23 fish species (593 samples) within the tidal‐fresh ...

Abstract:
... Dams can impede access to habitats that are required for the completion of life history phases of many migratory fish species, including anadromous sturgeons. Various forms of fish passage have been developed to permit migratory fishes to move above dams, but many dams still lack such structures. Translocation of ripe, mature fish above dams has been used as a first step to determine the efficacy ...

Abstract:
... Atlantic sturgeon (Acipenser oxyrinchus), also known as Baltic sturgeon, is considered extinct in German waters. Fish‐rearing for conservation purposes largely relies on classical hatchery technology focusing on traits like survival and growth in captivity but rarely focusing on subsequent life in the wild, lacking skills such as foraging or anti‐predation behavior. Predation is hence a major fact ...
